CAS Christmas Cards

Christmas cards are always fun to make.......

In all my cards only one element pops out , that gives the card a very simple and elegant look.

Diecut the shape ,with decorative scissors I made the border and added the twine bow to hang the ornament.

I embossed the ornament with gold embossing powder and used cuttlebug christmas folder for the background.

Punched out martha stewart snowflake, added a button with red twine.....drew the black dots with sketch pen.

With Itsy Bitsy circle die I created the snowman...isn't he cute!!!!

Decorated the plain store bought ornament.....I cut out a circle from the Acrylic sheet . Glued my snowman and  the tree from cricut cartridge to the sheet.

Recycled Magazine Christmas Tree

I learnt this technique when I was in the 4th grade, then I totally forgot about it. I was planning to do a Tabletop decoration for the Christmas party....after all these years I thought I'll do a Christmas tree with Filmfare magazines . Once I finish folding the whole book we (my son and myself) colored it with acrylic paint...to give more sparkly look I applied a coat of Mod Podge extreme glitter. Decorated the tree with punched circles from Itsy Bitsy gold Glitter paper and Itsy Bitsy Little Birdie red ribbon.

After seeing the tree my daughter wanted it for her class Christmas party......

                         

Chocolate Train

An interesting way to give chocolates at a party.....

Santa Christmas Cards

I love making Christmas cards....

This Santa card took me almost 5 hrs to finish . I wanted to make it look like a mat with tiny tassels on  all side... so I drew and cut a semi window, then punched tiny holes. Layered gold strip paper on top of green card and I stuck it from behind . The Santa is made from Shrink Plastic. The tiny tassels look very pretty on the card.

Both the Santa Claus are made from quickutz die.

Viking Knit Bracelet

I've been wanting to try this viking chain for quite sometime, till now whenever I saw this intricate design I assumed it was going to be very difficult and also looking at the name I thought its got to do something with knitting (not my area of interest) so I didn't give it a try. Recently I went to a craft fair ,there I saw this design I very much wanted to buy it but the price was high.... so I decided to make one for myself.

Materials used

Aen Key

28 gauge wire(from Itsy Bitsy)

Wire cutter

Ruler

Eye pin

Endcaps

Metal Clasps

First chain turned out good but it had few kinks here and there, but not noticeable.

Looking at the chain my daughter asked me to make a bracelet for her.

First made the viking knit bracelet

Next filled the bracelet with crystal beads

Added the end caps

Finished it by hanging few charms to it.

VOILA pretty bracelet ready....

If anyone interested in learning the technique for this bracelet do email me at anuja_npark@yahoo.com or leave a coment.

Wire Jewellery Set

I made this set to gift it to my sister-in-law for her birthday. First I just made the ear cuff and then all the other pieces followed to make a complete set.

Paper Bead Jewellery

The pendant and earring are made from 1" cream PAPER strip. I drew the picture, colored it and then rolled the paper to form the bead. I used Mod Podge as the top coat to give a glossy finish. Once it dries completely added the pearls to finish the pendant and earring.

My kids were able to find six differences between the drawings.
